lils' greatest treasure

People are designed for relationships. Without relationships people become sad, angry and lonely.. There is something very innate about humans that causes us to crave intimate lasting relationships with each other. This has been proven through research with babies in a Romanian orphanages, where the babies who were cuddled and loved thrived and survived whereas the babies who were only given nutrition and a clean environment became weak and sickly and many died. If you disagree with this point, i want to hear it because i really do think that the human need for relationship  is irrefutable.

It should not come as a surprise then that my greatest treasure is a relationship.

This is not just any relationship, it is a relationship that gives me my place in the universe and around which everything else is built...this relationship is initiated and maintained by a man who is not only always there, but also always honest and can be relied on unwaveringly and completely. Where do you find such a man i hear you ask? well let me tell you. He is Heaven sent, and so much more than just a man. His name is Jesus (cue the closed minded of you to roll your eyes and navigate away from this page.....now). I met Jesus as a small child but thought nothing much of Him at the time. when i was about 11 i investigated more fully what this guy was claiming about Himself, and decided on that basis that if He wasn't telling the truth then he must be either a lunatic, a liar, or something much, much worse. I understood that the answer to this question would have far reaching consequences in my life.  To make a long story short i have investigated the claims Jesus made and compared various historical texts and other evidence and am convinced that Jesus is who He says He is... on this basis i decided that He was to be taken seriously and i needed to choose to either follow Him or flee Him. I chose to follow and it's the best choice i ever made. Having my relationship with God restored by Jesus has brought me healing, wholeness and restoration that is out of this world.

So that's my greatest treasure. A restored relationship with God.

If you want to argue with me about religion and it's many evils, go ahead, i agree, religion has much to answer for...but this is not about religion. It's just about what God has done for me.
